DUPLEX

fessional services to a sick child, Mr.. Merri-
mans.

Sabbath. (There must be screw lose some
where.l
John D. Cornutt OF Riddle made our place
hurried visit for the purpose of getting med
icine for his wife of DIR. Whittemore. Mr..
Cornutt reports every thing quiet and orderly
at Riddle
The weather has been the chief topic of the
day. Plenty of rain, snow on the mountain
tops, should it suddenly become warm the
chances for high water are good. At present il
is cold enough for good oldfashioned fire with
large backlog in the background.
On Monday last the youngest son of Hon.
John Hall met with severe accldenl. He wa:
thrown from horse and for short distance
his foot hung in the stirrup, he came off with
dlslocation at the knee joint, bruises on ths
the thigh etc, at last accounts was doing well.
The railroad men are still here. Saturday
afternoon and Sunday the Cinnamon celebrated
their New Year. Porkers and hens or chick
ems furnished them with muck-a-muck. In
stead of keeping up week or two in celebra-
ting they quietly resumed work on Monda,
morning.

4 Dry Country.

AUSTIN, TEX, Jan. 2I.-The vast cattle
ranges in this state are drying up. No new
grass is growing, and great and ultimate
loss of stock is inevitable. Cattle men who
have just returned from the southwest sections
Of the state, beyond and below San Antonia,
tell of riding Tor days over parched prairies
covered with dried grass, and it is a section Of
Texas which in the past years has been one
great carpet of green grass, about the area of
Pennsylvania. In the northwest, from
Wichita Falls TO Fort Elliott, the cry Of the
cattle men is rain, rain. In Northern and
Central Texas, around Dallas, Fort Worth,
Sherman and Waco, where the wheat and
other small grains of Texas are grown, the
situation is no better .than in the districts, and
the wheat fields must all be ploughed up in
the spring, rendering the outlook for farmers
gloomy. Rain has not fallen since Sept. L.

LEaIs1ArURE PROCEEDINGS.

| Ia the House Monday resolution was
adopted calling for inquiry into the act of ex-
Secretary Earhart, in inserting in the pub
lished laws and joint resolutions passed at the
special session held in November, 1885, d doc
ument entitled "Senate Joint Resolution No.
2, which, it appears, was not signed by the
presiding officers of the two Houses, as re-
quired by law; and it Is alleged that large
amount Of money has been paid out, without
authority, under this resolution. The docu-
ment, as it appears onpages i2Sand I2o. Laws
of Oregon Special session-ISSs- This may
become an important matter.
DIR. w. Fl. Byrd has been appointed by
Superintendent Glow as physician for the pen
itentlary. This is very good appointment.
The position is worth $500 per annum and is
what might be called sssoft sit. .
A series Of portraits Of the territorial and
and state governors of Oregon, thirteen in all,
has been painted by Mr.. Cogswell, the well
known artist. Six of these were purchased by
order OF former legislative assembly, and the
remaining seven, now complete, are offered to
the state. A bill is before the legislature to
authorize the Secretary of State to purchase
these portraits, so as to complete the gallery.
The pictures are said to be excellent works of
art, and the state, having taken part of the
Series, will doubtless also take the remainder.
Ex-sEcRETARY EARHART ExoNERATED.
The proposition made in the House We'd
nesday TO investigate the conduct of Secretary
Earhart in paying large sums of money TO Capt.
John Mullan under authority OF senate joint
resolution No. Of the late special session, was
made without knowledge of the facts. This
joint resolution No. came to the secretary Of
state without the signature either Of the presi-
dent Of the senate or of the speaker of the
house, as the rule requires, yet inasmuch as the
journals of the session showed that it did pass
both Houses, it was deemed proper to publish
it in the appendix TO the laws. The resolution
not being properly authenticated It's authority
was denied by the secretary of state, who re
fused to audit the accounts of Capt Mullan,
and they remain in the Office Of the secretary
Of state unpaid for want of authority. No
sums of money have been paid TO Capt Null
Ian by the state treasurer or warrants drawn in
his favor for any amount whatever by the sec
retary of state under or by the authority of sem
ale joint resolution No 2.

HARVARD COLLEGE.

Boston, Jan. "a The annual reports o
the president and treasurer of Harvard college
will be given to the public tomorrow. The
presidents report calls attention to changes in
the statutes of the university By which all re-
ligious services are placed upon voluntary
footing. This was attended with the creation
of board of college preachers, six in number,
to whom the chapel services and pastoral care
of the students were committed. President
Elliot says: "The success of the new method
during the first three months of the current year
has surprised even those who advocated ii most
strongly. = The treasarer's report shows that
the invested fund of the university amounts to
S. ,I9o,772, an increase over the previous year
of about Save. 900.

Asss,rer to Mrs. Realae's.

II IS characteristic OF mankind to resent
any thing that is offered in opposition to their
opinion or creed. Notwithstanding their
differences, ninety nine in hundred may Join
with one accord against the remaining one
and reyel in it as luxury. If false premis es
are the basis for reasoning the conclusion
must be false. In regard to book called
Natures Divine Revelation" / confess that
am. student of the book of nature which in
my opinion IS. 10 say the least, as divine as
any Interpretation oft in book FORM We
ind nature TO be the universe of matter and
OF mind The aggregate of every thing that
exists Truth Is a fact in nature. When
stated in language, it is in conformity with
fact. Truth in the aggregate is the sum total
OF all that ever did, does now, or ever will
exist.
Some define matter as form of spirit
tangible to the human senses, and spirit form
OF matter not cognizable by the senses. That
all COZ nizable forms, matter, are lncarnations of
the infinite spilit of the universe. As forms,
they are finite and perishable, but the material
OF which they are composed are indestructible;
and when those forms are destroyed they
enter into other forms. Thus the infinite is
being constantly resolved into the finite, and
the finite into the infinite. Snch is the work
Of nature which is demonstrated.
Spiritualism tostand the test of investigation
must occupy the premises Of an automatic or
self evident truth. Finite mind cannot COM
prehend the infinite. Infinite attributes are
incouimunicable. The five senses are the
windows of the mind, without sensation there
could be no consciousness; without conscious
ness no intelligence, and without intelligence
there would be no mind. Truth must be its
own witness. II must approve itself te our
senses, our reason and moral sense, and truth
is always consistent with itself. The great
differences of opinion arise from ignorance.
Men may be honest and sincere in their be-
lief OF opinion and yet be in error. We sub
sist materially, not much upon "husks" nor
upon inorganic substances, but upon the organ
ic derived from the inorganic which are under
favorable circumstances congenial TO our
physical development. As the intellect de-
pends much upon physical form and develop
ment, we infer from stMrs. Reame's lntimation
that if person is born right it obviates the
necessity of being born again. But to live
again, thing must be born again. Now if
spiritualists claim that they are indestructible
they must have cminated from an incxhausti-
ble source, for all living creatures are endowed
with more OF less intelligence. If the doctrine
Of spirtualism appertains to the intangible,
the imponderable, the invisible, the impcneI
trable, we confess that to us it is incompre-
hensible. We want the testimony OF those
who are wide awake, not from any who were
asleep, OF in trance, or under mesmeric in
fuences. We want good people from pure
motives who recognize in others the same
nshtto think and investigate.
Respectfully,
L. C. HILL.

The only Way to conquer Dyspepsia

1t is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into the
stomach, in the expectation that they will as
sist digestion by acting on the food itself.
They will not. Nor is it possible thus to over
come Dyspepsia. The only way 10 conquer
that disorder. and prevent the numerous dis
eases and disabilities which it assuredly pro-
vokes, is to renew the activity of gastric
action by Strengthening the stomach. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters cradicates the mosi
inveterate forms of indigestion by restoring
vitality to the ailmentary organs, and those
which are tributary to them. The liver, the
bowels, the kidneys and the nerves, no less
than the stomach, experience the invigorativs
effects Of that standard tonic, which possesse.

to its effects which they would not etherwis.

1GENT SHACKELFORD'S REPORT.
4 Daughter Born to Secretary Hhihney.


WASHINGTON, Jan, 23.-Secretary Lamars
letter calling on the governor OF Oregon 10
show cause on or before April IS, 1887, why
the list OF swamp lands, known as list No. $,
should not be revoked and canceGd, makes an
interesting abstract Of Special Agent Shackel-
ford's report The only report Of this agent
on file is the one forwarded from Salem Oct.
FL. With the report he encloses certain affi-
davits bearing on the swamp lands. The
affidavit of Peter French, large swamp
land owner, as regards money paid directly or
indirectly by him to Agent Ankeny is missing.
Shackelford sent the affidavit to French for
correction, but one the advice of French's at
torneys, Written & Gleay, of this city, it was
not returned. Charles Alexander, another
large swamp land owner, was asked for an
affidavit of the amount of money paid ]. Ell.
Evans for Ankeny, but Alexander declined
to make statement on the ground that it
would compromise him. McConneghy, who
held swamp land under title from Owen,
iiie1NNS oli AiAiuosat W PAJMS vi hohSJ
to Evans for Ankeny. Reference is made
to an affidavit of J. H. Fisk, of Portland,
wherein he recites that Owen had informed
him tFisk) or Special Agent Mccormick,
| that he paid Ankeny's expenses during his
examination of Oregon swamp lands.
| Shackelford states that he has in his pos
session the affidavit Of w. H. OdelI, where the
latter details an attempt of Owen to bribe
him, while surveyor general, to designate
deputy surveyors to make surveys Of all swamp
land; alse Of an attempt of swamp land
claimant to induce him 10 take an interest in
in swamp lands claimed by them. Affidavits
of Geo. II. Small and Isaac Foster show that
Ankeny did not inspect lands in the vicinity of
Chewaucan valley, Paulina marsh, Silver lake
and Warm Spring meadows, to the amount o.
10000 acres in list No. S. The agent says that
conclusive proof of fraud and collusion Of
Ankeny with the swamp land claimants is found
in copy of contract between Owen, Fisk
and Ankeny.
